Warwickshire
on October 12,1875. Aleister was born into a religious family. His parents were
members of a fanatical Christian group called, " The Plymouth
Brethren." Aleister's father was a lay preacher for this Christian group.

Aleister had a hard childhood, he was
constantly surrounded

by death.
His father died when he was only 11 years old. When

Aleister
was a child his mother refered to him as, "The Beast." He was drug
into a religion he didn't agree with. Aleister had his ideas and beliefs but
never really acted on anything until he got older.

In 1896, Aleister claims his first
mystical experience had happened while he was on his way to Stockholm. Soon
after in 1898, he leaves his schooling at the Trinity College in Cambridge and
becomes initiated into the "Hermetic Order Of The Golden Dawn." Here
Aleister Crowley felt "at home." He often openly preached his ideas
that he held in for so many years.

"Do What Thou Will" was one of
his most popular speeches. Everyone today who knows of Aleister Crowley knows
of his teachings. He was a firm believer in "Do what Thou Will,"

"Love
is the law, love under will," "There is no law beyond do what thou
will."

During his life Aleister wrote many
books and had many followers. He wrote about many things ranging from Herbs
(Hashish), to Beasts, Spirits, magic and the self.

Aleister Crowley was a book writer, a
poet, a mystic, an occultist and into witch craft. He once lived on the shores
of the Great Loch Ness. There was rumor that Aleister had something to do with
the legend of the Loch Ness Monster. Aleister Crowley often tried to summon
spirits and conjure up demons to do his bidding. He led many of his followers
to his home...the house called Boleskin. People in the neighborhood often
claimed to see and hear strange things. They said there was a sense of evil in
the air. They all felt that the Boleskin House was cursed.

Even after Aleister no longer lived in
the Boleskin House new owners always felt uneasy and there has been many
strange stories told by neighbors and owners of the house. There had also been
many unexplainable deaths that have occured in the Boleskin house.

Aleister Crowley died on December
1,1947. But his followers still exist today. Many people try to follow in his
steps, they buy his books and think of him as one of the greatest influences on
witch craft. They still worship him and try to get new members and even Ozzy
Osbourne kept his name alive with his song "Mr. Crowley."

Did Aleister succeed in summoning a
creature? Is the Monster in the Loch here because of Crowley? There were
sightings and reports of Monsters in the Loch long before Aleister lived on
it's shores in the Boleskin House. But who knows, maybe there is more than one
thing in the Great Loch.
